Which of the following is true regarding sperm?
Fertilizin : for penetrating egg membrane
Hyalurodinase : for penetrating egg membrane
Acrosin : dissolves corona radiata
Capacitation : takes place in penis
B.
Hyalurodinase : for penetrating egg membrane
Hyaluronidase is a hydrolytic enzyme present in the acrosome of sperm (human testes). It lyses the glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix holding the cell of the corona radiata together. As the coronal cells become more loosely associated, sperm cells can propel themselves inward, toward the zona pellucida by making a receptive cone or fertilization cone through the cytoplasm of the egg. Hyaluronidase may also be involved in breaking down the Zona Pellucida.
Fertilizin is a chemical substance secreted from the cortical region of egg cytoplasm to attract the sperm towards the egg.
Acrosin is released from the acrosome of a spermatozoa as a consequence of the acrosome reaction. It aids in the penetration of Zona Pellucida.
Capacitation is the final stage in the maturation process of spermatozoa. This takes place inside the genital tract as the sperm penetrates the ovum.
Assertion: In mammals the female secondary sexual characters are developed by gonadotropins.
Reason: Gonadotropins are secreted by graafian follicle.
